"When was the last time you saw him like this? It feels like forever." Rowan said softly watching Reagan run around the house playing superheroes.

"Not since-"

"Warren." Both brothers said together and sighed.

I licked my paws and carefully watched my nerd.

"Watch out! There's a table-"

Reasons knee bumped the table and he burst into tears.

"Aww, come on, let's get a bandaid and go to bed Ray-Ray."

Reagan crossed his arms at Roman.

"My name is super trucks! I can't go to bed, all the animals need saving, expect Obie, he's the bad guy." Reagan explained.

Roman laughed and looked at a clock.

"Five more minutes."

I looked up at Roman and narrowed my eyes.

"Don't forget our deal mister. You're going to have a cat with you in bed tonight."

Roman rolled his shoulders and waited for ten minutes before dragging the exhausted Reagan into bed.

"I'm going to bed too Rowan, don't stay up too late."

Rowan nodded at Roman and I followed the yawning man into his room.

"Unlike Rowan like privacy when I'm changing." Roman snapped as I watched him pull off his shirt.

I turned around with a sigh.

"What happened to me just being a stupid cat?"

Once he was done I jumped into bed curling around his muscular arms.

"I don't cuddle."

I sniffed sharply.

"You sit on a throne of lies."

Roman tensed as I curled closer sticking my kitty tongue out at him.

***

"Roman? Roman can I sleep with you?" Reagan whispered loudly.

He was in his cute light blue pajamas and had a blanket around his shoulders.

"Ray-Ray its three o'clock in the morning," Roman told him, his voice deep with sleep.

"I'm scared... the dog keeps scratching at my door... p-please."

Roman sat up with a low sigh and patted the bed.

Reagan squealed and happily jumped into bed bringing me to his clothed chest.

"Hmm, hello my dear little nerd." I purred softly and felt suddenly hot next to two very warm bodies.

Half an hour later I was still awake and frustrated.

"Cold air! Come to me!"

I shook out my fur and stood jumping over Roman.

After a bit of cooling down, I jumped back between them.

Except when I hit the bed I was strangely human.

"Oh my god, this isn't funny." I breathed as Roman brought my naked body closer, his face nuzzling between my breasts.

I went very still gasping as Reagan cuddled closer as well, knee nudging between my legs.

I closed my eyes tightly.

"Sleep. Just sleep."

Don't think about the two very, very good looking men beside you.

I was almost asleep when Roman let out a soft moan squeezing my sides.

Now I was hot for a very different reason.

I'm going to hunt down Pink, my fairy godmother and rip her to-

Oh yeah, I'm not a cat, I currently don't have claws.

I'll just have to scream her ear off.

"Hmm, so warm," Reagan whispered still asleep and curled around me like he was a cat.

***

When I woke up I knew I was cat once more.

I had also gotten almost no sleep.

At least once they stayed asleep, I don't want to think about what would have happened if one of them had woken up.

"Another day as my kitten self."

Although I should really be trying to think of how I keep turning human...

But if it means I can stay with them... well... I'll be happy in any form.

"Guess who's coming today!!" Rowan sang making pancakes.

Reagan blinked at him. "Who?"

"Momsy and daddy poo!"

Reagan sagged head banging on the table.

"Sora gets the meet the useless people who made us," Roman said dryly petting my head.

I let out a purr.

"I couldn't, I mean, it's too early in our relationship."

We all sat down to eat pancakes.

"It's really weird that Sora always eats human food, and yet she never gets sick or grows!" Rowan stated watching me gulp down more food.

Roman shrugged.

"Shouldn't we be used to it by now? I mean, unlike most cats she doesn't sleep, she just follows us around meowing."

I narrowed my eyes.

"I'll have you know there's nothing else to do around here, so don't be proud."

Roman pointed at me.

"See! She's meowing like she's talking back to us."

I licked the syrup off the plate and jumped into Reagan's hair.

"Reagan do you remember which silverware to use?"

He slumped.

"No! Who needs two forks and three spoons anyway, can't we eat like we always do?"

Rowan snickered. "If only, you know how Momsy and daddy poo needs to eat in a certain refined manner."

***

Eight hours later a loud knock showed they had arrived.

"Darlings! Mommy has missed you!" A dyed blond with three inches of makeup hugged each son.

A Coat was tossed to Roman who put it away scowling lightly.

"Well, daddy couldn't make it, but I'm here." Their mother said with a fake smile. 

"Why don't you come to sit down for dinner." Rowan offered.

She kissed his cheeks and quickly sat down at the table freezing when she saw me

"Why hello, you must be the great 'Momsy Poo'."

She frowned. "Boys, tell me, why is there a cat on the table?"

"Sora always eats with us." Rowan defended and sat down as well.

She clucked her tongue in distaste as Roman served everyone.

After a long minute of silence, their mother began talking in her usual poisoning fashion.

"Reagan baby, how have you been coping?"

He moved away from her hand, which had ended up on his thigh and shrugged, shaking slightly.

"F-fine."

She tutted.

"No need to lie to mommy baby, she knows how hard this must be for you, especially since the latest news."

Reagan frowned confused while Roman clenched his jaw.

Rowan cleared his throat and took a large bite.

"Roman darling I heard you lost your job, how terrible."

She smiled slightly, a knowing smile.

He tossed a shoulder up and gazed down at his food.

"I know how strained you all must be, you should come home. I'd hate for anyone to see all these animals, I thought I heard a dog barking?"

Rowan nodded. "A foster dog, we won't have him long."

She shook her head slowly, 'sadly'.

"I do believe it's called hoarding these days."

Rowan blanched.

"I'm not an animal hoarder!"

She shrugged delicately.

"Perhaps not. However, I fear for you all considering what happened in the prison."

Reagan froze.

"The prison?"

Roman stood.

"Enough."

Her lips curved.

"Oh? You mean he doesn't know?"

Reagan looked around.

"Doesn't know what?"

Roman and his mom both stared each other down.

"You see Reagan baby, Warren's brother has finally come home from Italy. There's a rumor Warren might be let free."

Reagan looked faint.

"Y-you mean T-Tony?"

She nodded softly.

"Yes baby, I do believe you met briefly at the trial? And you should honestly get your stuttering checked out, that's no good for getting a date."

Reagan stared at Roman.

"Y-you knew?"

He looked at him helpless.

"You probably won't even see him, besides it's not like-"

Reagan rushed up and ran to the bathroom.

Roman closed his eyes for a brief moment before glaring at his mom.

"You fucking bitch,"

Rowan stood to help Reagan, who was throwing up harshly.

"Darling it's not like I knew you were keeping secrets, besides, shouldn't Reagan know?"

Roman narrowed his eyes.

"You know very well what you just did. Get out. Now."

She stood pursing her lips.

"I should kill you right now for hurting my nerd." I hissed at the fake woman.

She walked to the door after a long sigh.

"Roman dear, surely you aren't holding a grudge, you know I only want Reagan to come home where he belongs."

Roman gave her a death glare that made her flinch.

"You're lucky Reagan was too young to understand what you tried to do to him.
He will not be going anywhere with you, ever!" Roman shouted.

She left.

I walked over to the bathroom and watched Reagan cling to Rowan sobbing.

There was something about Reagan, his soft innocent looks.

He just drew people in.

He had suffered enough.

But... I can't help him like this.

I need to find a way to stay human permanently, even if it means I won't be able to see them again afterward.
